Parking at Sydney Opera House

Wilson Parking owns and operates the Sydney Opera House Car Park, which is a public car park serving Sydney Opera House visitors and ticket buyers, as well as visitors to Circular Quay. The car park is located at 2 Macquarie Street (Northern end), with vehicular access adjacent to the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.

Wilson Parking’s Sydney Opera House Car Park has 1,200 parking bays and has conveniently located pay machines on every level of the car park. The car park is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, and has undercover access to the Sydney Opera House Lower Concourse.

There are 11 accessible parking spaces on Level 1, and 12 accessible spaces on Level 6 of the car park for RTA Mobility Parking Permit holders. Car spaces on Level 6 also have direct wheelchair access to lifts.

Please note: The current light rail construction scheme along George Street will impact journeys to the Sydney CBD. It is important to plan ahead and allow additional travel time. Please visit My Sydney website for more information and consider using journey-planning apps on your mobile devices.

Designed for elderly and less mobile customers. Seating is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. The bus runs between Circular Quay at Stand B on Alfred Street (under the Cahill Expressway) and the Vehicle Concourse. Please note that there is no bus service for any theatres on Sunday evenings.

At the Sydney Opera House we welcome more than 10,000 visitors each day. Recently we’ve experienced increased pedestrian traffic on site and a rising popularity of bicycles, scooters and skateboards.

As the safety of our patrons and visitors is our first priority all non-motorised vehicles including, but not limited to, bicycles (including commercial bicycle tours and hired bicycles), segways, skateboards and scooters must be dismounted at the Opera House site boundary, and safely walked, carried or parked while on site.

Our staff will be asking riders to dismount while on the Opera House site and these requests will be made under section 4 of the Sydney Opera House Trust By-law 2015 and compliance is mandatory. Penalties for non-compliance may apply.

This change will not apply to prams, wheelchairs or other mobility aides.

The Opera House continues to promote and support sustainable transport by providing facilities on site to safely park bikes while visitors and patrons enjoy their visit.
